China News Service, Shaoxing, October 28 (Xiang Jing, Zhou Jian, Wang Minxia) As the "spiritual home" of the people, how can rural cultural auditoriums have both distinctive heritage and vigor?
At present, there are more than 20,000 rural cultural auditoriums in Zhejiang.
Shaoxing, Zhejiang is known as a "museum without walls", and the city has a profound cultural heritage.
In the villages of the city, relying on the mature carrier of the rural cultural auditorium, a series of "rural museums" with local characteristics and nostalgic memories were born, becoming popular "check-in points".
The reporter learned that the Rural Museum is a special exhibition hall set up in the Rural Cultural Auditorium.
The museum usually has the introduction of village history, the display of folk customs, the memories of ancestors, the craftsmanship of generations...
In Zhuji, Shaoxing, dragon dance is a folk custom in rural areas, and Baimenxia Village also inherits the two dragon dance folk customs of Bench Dragon and Bulong, and has a long history.
In order to commemorate the "Dragon Lantern Culture" of Baimen, the village built a Dragon Lantern Hall with "Dragon Lantern Culture" and "Yiju Culture" as the main content during the construction of the cultural auditorium.
In the Dragon Lantern Hall, the most striking thing is a bench dragon handmade by villagers.
It is understood that the "keel" of the white door bench dragon is made of strip-shaped wooden boards with a length of about 1.8 meters. Painted.

Like other places, most of Shaoxing's rural cultural auditoriums are rebuilt from idle farm houses and old buildings.
At the same time, the local area also fully exploited the original features and functions of the building, innovated the content of the exhibition hall according to local conditions, and injected new vitality into the cultural auditorium.
Xushan Village, located in Keqiao, Shaoxing, used to have a Xushan Granary covering an area of 6.2 mu.
Starting in 2021, this granary will reappear in many people's "circle of friends".
It turned out that Xushan Granary has been transformed into Xushan Village Cultural Auditorium and Farming Museum.
Going to the Xushan Granary to "check in" and experience farming culture immersively has become one of the popular activities of the local people.
The main exhibition hall, the rice transplanting experience hall, the harvest experience hall, the surrounding book bar, farming equipment, grain bills, agricultural products... The farming museum has a rich collection, and many tourists feel emotional after visiting - as if returning to the childhood village, full of nostalgia.
"After reuse, the farming museum is integrated into the construction of the cultural auditorium, which not only enriches the connotation of the cultural auditorium, but also provides a display platform for the farming culture of Xushan Village." said Wang Qiuliang, secretary of the general party branch of Xushan Village.
With the opening of "halls" in rural cultural auditoriums, in Shaoxing villages, the atmosphere of "single music is not as good as crowd music" is becoming more and more strong.

The Yanghu Village Cultural Auditorium was also renovated from an old building. Its predecessor was the Xuan clan ancestral hall during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The entire auditorium is simple and elegant with pink walls and black tiles, as well as an ancient stage with carved beams and painted buildings, which is filled with a strong "Chinese style".
Today, the auditorium incorporates another local "golden business card" - Yanghu Ceramics.
"Zhuji Altar of Shaoxing Old Wine, Zhuji Yanghu is famous for its famous altar, and Yanghu Village has a centuries-old history of pottery art." Xuan Guofeng, a villager in Yanghu Village, said that the quality of the clay in the Yanghu area is relatively good. To be impermeable and non-deteriorating, the older the rice wine is, the more fragrant it is.
In order to continue the craft of "making an altar", the Yanghu Ceramics Museum was listed as a key project in the construction of the Yanghu Village Cultural Auditorium.
Today, the pottery museum not only displays all kinds of Yanghu pottery, but also specially sets up a part of handicraft inheritance, which is taught by specialized pottery masters.
It can be seen that in the process of promoting common prosperity and provincial modernization in Zhejiang, the rural cultural auditorium empowered by the rural museum has explored a new direction for improving the "spiritual prosperity" of the people.
"Setting up a rural museum in the cultural auditorium not only enriches the connotation of the auditorium, but also enhances the cultural atmosphere of the countryside." Zhou Youmin, a member of the Shaoxing Local Culture Research Association, said in an interview that such museums should fully consider regional characteristics and explore folk customs and handicrafts. and other various resources to form differentiated competition, and increase the content of parent-child tours, research and study tours, etc., to make the exhibition hall truly "live" and "fire".
